I will keep my mouth shut and not tell you that my (3) tomato plants are 8 inches tall; nope, I ain't gonna say that, nope.

But do they have BLOOMS? Actually, I have had them produce blooms in the GH, but they generally don't set fruit.

I have blooms on my tomatoes and one of the plants has fruits already.

Ok, my one tomato that has set is as big as a thumbnail. Did I win?????

Well, too my way of thinking one has to have ripe ready to eat fruit before there are any winners.

But I have the bigger green tomato?

You probably do!

I was out this morning and saw some golfball sized greens.

Ah, mine is gumball size

Due for the 90's for the rest of the week...These might just quit setting blooms if the temps stay this warm for too long.

Mine are the size of marbles. But still, you guys are so much further south of me and for me to have tomatoes set this early is amazing.

And with the crazy weather too! Good growing, Rita! You'll for sure have a bumper crop this year!

The green tomatoes are only on one plant. I do have about 5-6 other plants with blossoms too but who knows if they will set this early.

But I will have a lot of tomatoes in season here. I always do.

Very impressive

Well, I had first graders swiping ripe grape tomatoes in the school garden this morning. So much fun gardening in FL with little kids!

I have 2in. Momotaros at the green-turning-white stage at home, too. 'Course, we picked ripe tomatoes all winter, and the big plants died of powdery mildew in March with a long run of cold damp weather. (yes, I learned to try milk on them next spring!! )

So, I guess I should retire from this contest . . .

First tomatoes
